On the subject of improvements to the show Josiah and I have been thinking about releasing a iTunes only MP4 podcast feed with artwork and chapters. We just wanted to get your opinion. Is the current standard MP3 golden? Should we bother?

Re: Ben …..
I'd be down for the chapter and artwork podcast! Are you thinking of using GarageBand?

Re: Jim D. ….
I heard the Tropicalia stuff from the latest Sleephouse episode. In fact, I got to that part while I was crossing the bridge on my run home after work. I've been on this new kick for a few weeks now (wow, I can't believe it's been that long) where I have my girlfriend drop me off for work in the morning and I'll run home. Being that I live 2.8 miles from the office it works out well. There's a bridge I have to cross, which happens to be 3/4 of a mile long, so I get to watch the sunset every night on my jog home. I have to admit that although I'm still a Florida Hater at heart, I've REALLY enjoyed seeing the sunset every night. The Tropicalia tunes from Sleephouse played as I watched the sunset over the river as I crossed the bridge. It was sooo picturesque. They were a perfect soundtrack to my trek.

Ben and Josiah:
Thanks again for all the great shows lately. You've been spitting them out like mad-men!

chapters would be great for those of us who like some shows so much we listen more than once, for the purpose of skipping to certain songs or jokes that were especially good. i say go for it. technology is fun!

i say no to the .mp4 format (very vindictive of me … "i say 'nay'!") … since i don't have an ipod (i have it's evil twin brother, the iriver), the .mp4 format would be annoying and it would confuse me. i don't know about the rest of you, but when "annoying" and "confusing" are mixed for me, things tend to blow up. such an explosion would lead to the termination of my tutt subscription. sorry.

Make a bookmarkable .mp4 feed and make sure to bookmark the non-music commentary portions of the show. Sometimes you just want to listen to music with jarring voice commentary. It's nothing against your particular voice commentary, it just any voice commentary is disruptive if you are trying to have music playing in the background. Voice commentary compels you to listen to it, distracting you from whatever else you are doing.
